As part of Mammuts 150th anniversary, three climbers attempt to be the first to scale the north face of Cerro Kishtwar. Back in 1991, a British team narrowly failed to climb the 1000m face in the Kashmir Himalaya. The team give themselves six weeks to reach the peak located at 6200 metres above sea level on the border between Pakistan and China. The journey to base camp at 3500 metres alone takes two weeks. The team hopes that four weeks is enough to complete this climb that is part of the 150 Mammut Peaks Project.
